African Mask at The British Museum, London
myminifactory
African masks serve multiple purposes beyond entertainment and ceremonial use. They are employed to tap into the raw power of the untamed bush and swamps, bringing these forces into the heart of towns and villages. This enables humans to engage with them and harness their potency for social and practical applications. The characters commonly depicted in such powerful masquerades include ferocious beasts, malevolent spirits, enigmatic foreigners, cunning witches, or vengeful souls from beyond the grave.
